The Medieval Ages - with you

At this point, the Middle Ages are far enough in the past that whatever sweeping generalizations we make about them might not immediately be refuted. If you say, for example, that everyone loved to joust back then, your group of friends probably won't erupt into a lively debate about the actual prevalence of jousting during the era unless, of course, your friends are medieval scholars. In this episode of Misconceptions , Mental Floss host Justin Dodd is investigating some of the most misguided ideas we have about life from the 5th century right up until Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in the early days of the Renaissance. When Columbus did set sail, by the way, not everybody still believed the Earth was flat. And the next time your friend mentions anything about jousting, you can spearhead a lively debate on the subject. For more videos like this, subscribe to the Mental Floss YouTube channel here.

In the history of Europe , the Middle Ages or Medieval Period lasted from the 5th to the late 15th century. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity , the medieval period, and the modern period. Population decline , counterurbanisation , collapse of centralized authority, invasions, and mass migrations of tribes , which had begun in Late Antiquity , continued in the Early Middle Ages. The large-scale movements of the Migration Period , including various Germanic peoples , formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the Middle East—once part of the Byzantine Empire —came under the rule of the Umayyad Caliphate , an Islamic empire, after conquest by Muhammad's successors. Although there were substantial changes in society and political structures, the break with classical antiquity was not complete. The still-sizeable Byzantine Empire, Rome's direct continuation, survived in the Eastern Mediterranean and remained a major power. The Medieval Ages
